Today, we are thrilled to announce the launch of Forge Season 2, the biggest and most important moment in our journey so far! This new season brings powerful updates, innovative tools, and an expanded network of partners, all designed to elevate your gaming experience.

Reinventing the Games Marketing Playbook

At Forge, we believe that game developers should spend their precious time and resources building great games, not wasting time on outdated and inefficient marketing channels. We also believe that a gamer’s time and attention has tremendous value, and that they should be rewarded for their contributions.

That’s why we’re setting out to reinvent the games marketing playbook by introducing the concept of Community Marketing. Community Marketing on Forge enables game developers to market directly the exact kind of players that might be interested in their games, and reward players with Loyalty Points that incentivize engagement and reward community contributions from their most loyal fans.

Best of all, with the launch of Season 2, we’re opening up our Community Marketing tools to allow all developers to set up a Loyalty Program today! If you’re a game developer, you can learn more and set up your own Forge Loyalty Program here.

Giving Back to the Most Dedicated Forgers

We want to extend a huge thanks to everyone who’s been part of the journey thus far. That’s why we’re giving back to those who’ve supported us thus far by introducing new Points Multipliers for both users who leveled up their Season 1 Pass, and those who supported us from Day 0 and are still holding a Forge Day 0 Badge.

What is a points multiplier? Well, it’s exactly what it sounds like! Users will receive a bonus points in every Loyalty Program they participate in. That means when you complete an Action via Forge, you’ll get more Points, and thus more rewards. Ain’t that nice?

Loyalty Points is the New Meta

Quests are so last month, Loyalty Programs are the new meta!

Starting today, Forge is moving to a new way of rewarding your ongoing activity and support for games.

Instead of a short term, complete these 5–10 quests and you’re done, now games on Forge can set up long lasting Loyalty Programs and award users Loyalty Points over the course of a Season, so that they can truly reward their most passionate fans and promoters. At the end of each Season, your rewards will be proportional to your standing on the Points leaderboard.

Is this Season Pass returning for Season 2?

Yes! With the launch of Loyalty Programs, you’ll be earning Points for each individual campaign. However, all Actions completed will also earn you XP to level up that Season 2 Pass in order to secure your Points Multiplier for Season 3 😎
